Ingredients

  • Gnocchi:

  • 500g ricotta

  • 200g 00 flour (plus extra for rolling)

  • 200g grated Parmesan

  • 3 egg yolks

  • Pinch of salt

  • Sauce:

  • 1 small butternut pumpkin, cubed and roasted

  • 10 sage leaves

  • 50g butter

  • 2 leaves kale or spinach, shredded

  • Parmesan or salted ricotta for finishing

Method

  • Prepare the Gnocchi:

  • Pat the ricotta between paper towels for 20 minutes to remove excess moisture.

  • In a bowl, sift the flour, add grated Parmesan and salt, then mix.

  • Make a well in the centre, add ricotta and egg yolks, and combine.

  • Let the dough rest for 30 minutes.

  • Roll the dough into long sausages and cut into bite-sized pillows. Freeze or cook in salted water until they float.

  • Cook the Gnocchi:

  • Boil gnocchi in salted water until they float.

  • In a pan, melt butter and half of the sage. Add the cooked gnocchi and sauté until golden brown on both sides.

  • Toss in the roasted pumpkin and cook for 2 minutes.

  • Add remaining sage and kale, adjusting with more butter if needed.

  • Serve hot, finishing with additional Parmesan or salted ricotta.
